Why I Love Sharpies

Black Sharpies are office staples for a reason: they are high-quality, inexpensive, and write on anything. Frequently, you see blue, red and green in offices too. But look in a crafter's desk and you'll find every color of the rainbow! Here's my fine-tipped Sharpie collection:

I use Sharpies for so many different crafts, as they provide wonderful color and write on just about anything. My favorite use for Sharpies is changing the color of embellishments for cards or layouts. Here's a yellow Sugar-Coated Brad from Doodlebug. Notice how the Sharpie writes over it without harming the glitter?

(Of course I have ink all over my fingers! I'm a crafter.)

And here's the card I made with the newly-orange brad:

It's so convenient to be able to create just the color I need! I don't think anyone would ever guess that brad started out yellow. Do you love Sharpies as much as I do? How do you use them?
